Fox, Of the Northwestern, feels tho his
road Il entitled 70 the credit Of l0Wefing
the rste below that which was granted
by the st. Louis, and thinks that the
shippers should appreciate this. But Of
course great deal Of poetry IL taken
out Of this magnanimous step when it il
known that the first drop was made by
'tother fellows.
But after ali IL said and done the rail-
roads and shippers viii eventually adjust
the existing differences among and TO
suit themselves.
What we desire TO congratulate Man
kato business men upon ID the wonder
full revolution that has taken place In
freight rates to this city. Less than sew
en- months ago the rate on 6rst-cIass
freight from Chicago 10 Manksto was
90 cents per hundred pounds. Shortly
after the Interstate Commerce law
went into effect the railroads made q
voluntary reduction to 90 cents, and
October 18th q 50 cent rate is to 90 into
effect. This reduction of nearly 80 per
cent. means that Mankato is placed up
on an equal footing with the Twin cities
as point for the building up Of large
jobbing and manufacturing interests. In
fact, 50 FAR as It's location Is concerned,
it is more fayorably situated than st.
Paul to carry on an extensive trade with
the fast developing territory lying In
Southwestern Minnesota, Southern Da-
kota and Northern Iowa. The difficulty
Of securing equitable and fair freight
rates has been the greatest obstacle
which local jobbers and manufacturers
have heretofore had TO overcome. To
see how well they have succeeded In
spite Of determinations and high rates
1t is only necessary 10 call attention to
the handsome showing made IN the last
annual report of the Board of
Trade. With such new adj
yantages as are now In prospect there 10
nothing to prevent Mankato from NOV
ing rapidly to the position she should
occupy as the jobbing center of that vast
territory with which she has such
favorable railroad connections.
There is every reason to
believe that new era has been OPEN
ed for this city. The railroads have
been brought to recognition of our
rights. The time has come when they
can no longer withhold from Mankato
the fayors which have been extended to
other cities. More concessions must
come in the future, and with them will
come added prosperity.

THE Sioux City Journal very rig
erously denies the story of the bruta
eviction of tenants at the instance o
English landlords, the details of which
were telegraphed over the country &
few days ago. The Journal say:
such outrages could not have occur,
ed in a populous section of Iowa with
out the people of that state being
aware of them. 1t learns that what
ever evictions there were were made
by the order of the district court anc
were the ordinary processes, in which
English influence had no part what
ever.

THE "world championship series
OF ball games now being played be-
tween Detroit and St. Louis is plainly
a money making affair. Games will
be played in half a dozen cities, and
the clubs will "whip-saw" through
them and come out about even so that
the excitement will be kept up and
paying crowds obtained. So far as its
deciding which is the strongest ball
team in the world, it will do nothing
of the kind.

ANOTHER monument to the freezin

ANOTHER monument TO the freezing
atmosphere which surrounds st.
Paul is to be made visible again this
winter in the shape of an ice palace.
If those good people up north would
only give us one of these CONCEALED
structures in July, where we of the
temperate zone of Southern Minnesota
could HE ourselves away during the
heated term, there to kiss the crystal
cakes and cool the dry, parched lips,
it would certainly be worth our time
to rusticate for season. But to give
it to us in mid-winter when we have
frosty nights and cool days, takes all
the poetry out of such an enterprise
with our people. 1t is no trick fol
Southern Minnesota residents to keep
comfortably cool in January but it is
an effort to enjoy life in July. St. Paul
should appreciate our wants more cor

Pioneer Press: The Mankaio FRRH
Press iubilales with reason over the an
nounced reduction of through freight
rates to that city by the Minneapolis &
st. Louis road AS the new rates are CO.
incident with lower through tariffs to st.
Paul and other points, the rejoicing may
be made general. The humorous side OF
the matter appears in the complacency
with which the FREE PREss-after fight
ing by the side OF the Mankato board oil
trade for equal mileage rates to all inter
ior points-observes that "the fact of this
being the most westerly point enjoying
the low tariff, will be sure to bring Man.
kato in prominence" 1t is now in or
der for st. James, Madelia and other
places to westward to protest against dis
elimination and demand equally favora-
BILE rates. In this they will, no doubt,
have the hearty cooperation of the
Mankato board of trade and the alert
FREE Press.
This is a courageous example OF
bluf-a sort of whistling to keep your
courage up. Why hasn't the Pioneer
Press announced the blower through
rates to St. Paul" which are "co-inci-
dent" etc. d? There is something in
the air which says the Pioneer Press
will not find the situation so "humor-
GUS" as it processes to. 1t may be
brought to a realizing sense of the fact
that Mankato is in position to de-
mand and secure some favors as well
as St. Paul.
As to the business of the principle Of
equal mileage rates to interior points
we certainly do believe in it, and
should be glad to see it go into effect,
We do not expect, however, to see the
less favorably situated towns get their
rights any more than the Pioneer Press
would have believed a short time ago
that Mankato would ever be accorded
the same rates its city is enjoying.
There has been no demand that any
thing more than an equitable rate per
ton per mile based on the distance
hauled be given to Mankato. The
roads are offering us a better rate than
that, but it has resulted wholly from
rivalry between themselves. Now, let
US hear from the Pioneer Press about
the lower rates that are "co-incident."

financial panic. He said the over
construction Of railroads will entail a

years hence, the original investors will
lose their money. Mr., Depew is re-

opment of this part of the country

his fears to have been poorly grounded.

CLAIMED BY THE JoBBERs'

A question Of the Importance contain

ton in freight rates from Chicago b
Mankato is one that should be stripped
ofall verbiage and the public be put IL
possession Of all the attending facts tina,

entitled to the credit.
In the first place, the Mankato Job

industriously for the result finally at

had their efforts been allowed to lag, OIL
had they given up and abandoned the

an important and radical reduction in
freight tariffs.
There are some features connected

stood by the public generally; in faci
very few people in Mankato are aware
of the work which has been cheerfuIly
done by the Union. On the second day
of August last, the transportation COM
mittee of the Manufacturers and job
bers' Union, composed at that time oil
Messrs. L. A. Moore, F. n. Merrill and
E. NJ. Pope, sent the following telegram
to Mr.. II. G. Wicker, Chicago, Traffic
Manager of the G. & N. w. Railway
Company:
We have expected and desired your
for Mankato. We still desire il. Can
you do it? We think it injustice to make
us higher rate per ton per mile than
you make Waseca, and we think the
Interstate Commission will support our
claim If presented to them. We urge
you at this juncture to establish our
Chicago rate for all classes of freight on
this basis. We think our rates are iden-
teal and trust this application sent to
you will be favorably considered and
acted upon. With this we will be salts.
fed, and nothing less win satisfy us.
Within brief time after this message
was transmitted the committee received
a reply from Mr.. Wicker to the effect
that the telegram had been received toe
late for action that day, but would re-
ceive the attention and consideration
that the importance of the question de-
manded. A day or two thereafter the
following letter was received which
clearly states the position of the North
western folks:
| CHICAGO, Aug. 4, 1887.

ers q; Jobbers' Union, Mankato, Ainn.
Gentlemen: Further in reply to your
telegram of the second. The matter OF
rates between Chicago and Milwaukee
and Mankato was taken up for consider
alton by all lines in interest yesterday,
and, regret to say, they were unable
to meet your views in the establishment
of st. Paul rates at Mankato. The fol-
lowing rates which we believe are fair,
reasonable and defensible, were agreed
upon, viz:

That we're transparent impossible
lty. The Man of Sorrows spent his
